(Radio Iowa) - Drake University in Des Moines is partnering with C-B-S News to offer educational programming designed to bring lessons on good character and kindness to teachers and students around the world -- for free.
Amy Smit, spokeswoman for Character Counts and Drake's Robert D. and Billie Ray Center, says the web-based "Kindness 101" features short videos from C-B-S reporter Steve Hartman's "On the Road" series. Smit says the videos are inspirational, heartwarming stories of people across the U.S. who are the embodiment of kindness and respect.
The three-minute videos include lesson plans, activities, and family connections focused on the Six Pillars of Character, and Smit says they're appropriate for any grade level.
